What We Mean by “Cost Savings”

Cost savings doesn’t always mean discounts.  If your value is real and measurable… you’re in the right place!

We’re looking for partners who create value through:

Manufacturing Works remains a neutral, member-first organization.
Our role is connecting manufacturers to resources, not selling on behalf of partners. 

 
How Partners Are Selected 

Cost Savings Partners are selected through a competitive application process.

We evaluate applicants based on:

• Strength of value proposition for manufacturers

• Commitment to serving small manufacturers (<$5M revenue)

• Proven savings or efficiency outcomes

• Service model, support, and scalability

• Willingness to engage in the Manufacturing Works ecosystem

 Applications are open through May 22, 2026 for this review cycle. Not all applicants will be selected. 

 
What Selected Partners Can Expect 

 
This is about building long-term relationships, not one-time exposure. 

Core Categories

 (Additional categories may be considered, and space within each category may be limited. ) 

Application Fee

 There is a $500 application fee to be considered for the Cost Savings Partner program. If you’re not selected, you can apply that $500 toward Supporting Member dues if you choose to stay involved with Manufacturing Works. Otherwise, the fee is non-refundable. This fee helps ensure a thoughtful, competitive selection process and alignment with partners who are serious about delivering value to manufacturers.
